Pune pedals away pollution, rides the bicycle bus

Creator Milind Kulkarni demonstrates how the bicycle bus works

Kulkarni said, "Pune was initially known as a bicycle city. Now we are moving back bicycles again. Also, pollution keeps increasing and I felt, this little step towards reducing it will help the environment a bit. Every day I worked on it for six to seven hours."


He added, "I have created the bus for eight passengers and one driver. The driver moves the steering wheel. The other eight people will pedal, powering the bus. It is pollution free, user-friendly, and also decreases stress and body fat levels. It can also be battery-operated." A minimum of four people including the driver are needed to drive the bus. Kulkarni is ready to manufacture such bicycle buses if anyone approaches him for them.
